Bill > AB39

This bill requires state employees to perform their work in person at their agency offices during regular work hours, with the mandate taking effect on July 1, 2025. The legislation aims to return state government employees to traditional workplace settings after the widespread adoption of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill includes two key exceptions: telehealth services, which can continue to be performed remotely due to their nature of providing medical care from a distance, and any job duties that were already performed off-site before March 1, 2020, which will be allowed to remain in their current remote configuration. By establishing this requirement, the bill seeks to restore in-person work culture within state government agencies, potentially improving collaboration, supervision, and workplace interaction among state employees. The implementation date of July 1, 2025, provides state agencies with ample time to plan and adjust their workforce strategies to comply with the new requirement.
